ZA Pro 7.0.470.000 blocks Kasperksy install

Hi,
I am using ZA Pro 7.0.470.000, that is the firewall without ZA Antivirus, on windows XP SP2. This version of ZA blocks my attempt to install Kasperksy Antivirus 7.0.1.325. Now my understanding of this is that ZA is using KA's Antivirus engine,
even in a ZA product that is not using this engine ZA is still causing a conflict.
I see no reason why the ZA firewall should block the KA Antivirus implementation, I could understand there being a problem if the ZA product I am using had active Antivirus built in. That would mean trying to run two Antivirus solutions at the same time, I would expect a conflict. In my case I am running two separate solutions that should not conflict.
I have seen similar posts on the forum but have not seen a response that indicates if this problem is going to be fixed, either by Kasperksy or ZoneAlarm.

Hi Fax,
Thanks for the response. The thread that you directed me to is of use.
However the
particular comment in that thread merely confirms what I already know. I also have KAV and ZA co-existing. However to get to that state took more work that it should have done. I do not believe that to install, or indeed update, KAV I should have to uninstall ZA. The two should be distinct and separate, one performing the role of Antivirus and the other acting as a Firewall.
I would still like to know if someone is going to fix this problem?
Regards,
Colin.

Hi!as far as I know KAV will refuse to install if it detects ZA on the system.While ZA does not complaint if it is installed over KAV.So, I have no idea if Kaspersky will change this and allow KAV to install even if ZA is installed.Probably it would be better to ask to Kaspersky technical support directly given that ZAlabs (in the latest build) have already made ZA compatible with KAV.Cheers,Fax
